Balancing resources, demand, new challenges, and risks: what is next for the coal industry of Kuzbass

The article gives an overview of the main external and internal challenges currently facing the coal industry and thus defining where the economy of Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass (a key coal-mining center in Russia) is heading. We claim the fourth energy transition as the most important among such chall...
